DIY Map Crafts

This craft project was a fun way to celebrate and remember some of the places I have lived and traveled.

I used the following supplies:

Glass gems

Maps

Mod Podge (gloss)

X-Acto Knife

I began by cutting out the cities I visited over the years from old road and maps I printed from websites.

Next, I spread a layer of Mod Podge on the back of the glass stones and on the front of the map pieces. Then I pressed them together and let them dry for a couple of hours.

Finally, I trimmed the paper with the X-Acto knife.

I placed the map stones in a large glass vase that is sitting on bookshelf in my bedroom. I think these stones are an awesome reminder of where I’ve been. It’s nice to have another representation of my travels to go along with photos and souvenirs.
